[Verse 1]
You worked two jobs and some weekends
Packed my lunch, packed your pride
Drove that old Ford through the sunrise
Still made time to listen when I cried
Hand-me-down coat every winter
Said you liked it so I would
You went hungry some nights at the table
Just to say you “weren’t in the mood”
[Chorus]
I’m so thankful, Momma, for all you’ve done
For every hard day you carried me through
Every small dream you laid down for one of mine
I got my strength, my name, my heart from you
When they ask me where I’m from
I say your kitchen, your prayers, your love
I’m proud of who you are, what you’ve overcome
And I’m proud to be your son
[Verse 2]
You taught me “yes ma’am,” “thank you”
And to bow my head to pray
You cheered in them cold metal bleachers
Never once complained about the rain
You stitched my holes and my homework
Said, “boy, just give your best”
Now every little win that I’m winning
Feels like one you finally gets
[Chorus]
I’m so thankful, Momma, for all you’ve done
For every hard day you carried me through
Every small dream you laid down for one of mine
I got my strength, my name, my heart from you
When they ask me where I’m from
I say your kitchen, your prayers, your love
I’m proud of who you are, what you’ve overcome
And I’m proud to be your son
[Bridge]
If I can be half the heart you are
Then I’ll know I turned out alright (alright)
And when I tuck my own kids in at night
I’ll hear your voice in mine (oh Momma)
[Chorus]
I’m so thankful, Momma, for all you’ve done
For every hard day you carried me through
Every small dream you laid down for one of mine
I got my strength, my name, my heart from you
When they ask me where I’m from
I say your kitchen, your prayers, your love
Yeah, I’m proud of who you are, what you’ve overcome
And I’m proud to be your son
